PARIS EXPOSITION CPEN. President I.oabet Cheered by Amcricsu Cnited States Building. The Paris exposition was opened April 14, but it will be at least a month before anything but buildings are to be seen. The daj-'s ceremonies were a peculiar mixture of sumptuous splendor in the Salles des Fetes and widespread confusion elsewhere. The ceremonies within the Sallesdes Fetes was simplicity itself. The reception recep-tion to President Lou bet at the entrance en-trance lasted only a few seconds, and on reaching the presidential tribune. M. Millerand, the minister of commerce, com-merce, immediately delivered his ad dress, handing over the exposition to the chief of staff, which address was couched in most eloquent terms and read in a resonant voice, heard throughout through-out the vast hall. M. Millerand s peroration per-oration was especially fine, and it brought forth a storm of plaudits. President LouLet then replied and the speaking part of the function was ended. At the United States pavilion many guests were assembled. and they cheered while the Stars ami Stripes were dipped on one flagpole, while the French tricolor was lowered from another, an-other, while the crowds of Americans gathered on the embankment in front of the pavilion gave Loubet a ringing cheer. The president was greatly pleased at this little courtesy, and turning to Embassador Porter, who was beside him on the boat, he remarked: re-marked: "The American always does right; this is a magnificent building.' To many visiting Americans, however, our national pavilion is a distinct disappointment. dis-appointment. It is pretentious, almost overpowering, with its big dome and striking frescoes over the entrance, but it compares unfavorably with the beautiful beau-tiful buildings of even, smaller powers, like Italy. pain and Austria, which are its neighbors along the Seine. BAD FIRE AT HOPE, IDAHO. Several ItuildlnK Purneil and One Life Lost No Insurance. Fire broke out in Chase's saloon at Hope, Idaho.

The war department has prepared (in instructive statement comparing the mortality figures in the Spanish-American Spanish-American war with those of the first jdx months of the present South African Afri-can war, the. purpose being to show that the casualties suffered by the American troops at the time of their occurrence (which were regarded in some quarters as excessive, and were the basis of much criticism,) were actually ac-tually very much less in number proportionately pro-portionately than those suffered by the Uritish army up to date.

Many Large Towns Have No Physician He-conse He-conse People are too Poor to Support One. The startling fact was recently made public that in many districts of Porto Rico, where the population reaches thousands, there is no resident physician. physi-cian. For instance, Wayula, a town of 1,500, must depend upon simplest remedies rem-edies in the case of illness, as there is no pliysician within call. At Utando the death rate is SO per cent annually, and this town is a day's ride from Ponce through the mountains. It appears that physicians have been sent to these districts, but they refuse to remain, largely because no town is able to support one. As a result of this condition of things, the order providing provid-ing a physician foi every 500 persons is now very difficult of enforcement, because the towns reply that there is no fund to pay for such service. This island is one vast poor house, and there are opportunities for charity at every step. Were 510,000 to be expended ex-pended immediately for medicine and medical aid it would possibly save the lives of 3,000 people. At one time the government considered the feasibility of assigning a physician to each town, at an aggregate cost of 50,000 per year, but the funds for such an outlay are not available ROBERTS HAS A BIG AMRY. j 214,000 In the Field and 12,000 More Atioat. It is calculated that Lord Roberts row has 214,000 effective troops, with 12.000 more afloat or under orders. The war officers has instructed oflicers not to take any more expanding bullets to Africa for revolvers. In a roundabout way Loudon hears that Koberts. when wiring to the Prince of Wales at Copenhagen, congratulations con-gratulations upou his escape from assassination, as-sassination, added two or three hopeful hope-ful sentences portending an early advance ad-vance with wide reaching combinations. combina-tions. Quite assurances are passing around among military men that Lord Roberts is employing his great army effectively and that the adventurous 55oer com" mandoes are likely to be enmeshed. Scraps of news, a detail here and another there, have reached F.ngland over comparatively idle cables, but they do not illuminate the situation. situa-tion. IMPORTANT !F TRUE. Sensational Story JCrganiing an Outbreak in Cuba. The Havana Journal published a statement to the effect that it had received re-ceived information from a Cuban ofll-cer ofll-cer going to show that an outbreak had been arranged for June 1, on which day the whole Cuban army would be ready to take the field. General Wood summoned the editor, and his so-called '-information" turned out to be, valueless. It was merely the statement of a woman that a man, unknown un-known to her, had remarked that if the Americans had not given the island independence by June 1, as the United States congress had promised, there would be trouble. The woman asserted that the man had told her he was a captain in the Cuban army. Undoubtedly Undoubt-edly the story is made out of whole cloth. Inole Sam's Army. Adjutant-General Cot-bin h.is prepared pre-pared a statement show ing the strength of the troops in the Philippines on the 1st of April, the date of the last returns. According to this statement, there was on the date stated 63,585 officers and men there, being an increase of 303 since March 1, the date of the last previous report. This increase is due to the arrival of recruits, mainly mem. bers of the hospital corps and other staff departments. Coinage, of .Minor Coins. The house committee on coinage has directed a favorable report on the senate sen-ate bill for the coinage of minor coins at mints other than Philadelphia. At present the law compels all of this minor coinage to be done at Philadelphia. Philadel-phia. "Wireless Teli'grai:hy Tests.

Ebenezer JJurgh-Ball, the nearest surviving relative of George Washington, Washing-ton, to whom he bore a striking resemblance, re-semblance, is dead in Washington. He was 84 years old and unmarried. There is hardly a rucU in the Pan handle, or western Texas, that does not have its own private telephone system, sys-tem, and the barbed wires of the pasture pas-ture fences are used exclusively :'or the purpose. A number of these private lines are fifty mile ioug. MACRUM IS MAD. Accuses State Department of Maligning and Slandering Him. Hon. Charles E. Mac rum, ex-consul to Pretoria, South African republic, when seen regarding the statement that Consul Adelbert Hay has failed to find any evidence of the consulate mail being tampered with during Mr. Ma-crum's Ma-crum's stay at Pretoria, said: "While I do not take much stock in newspaper reports, this is such a palpable pal-pable perversion of the truth that it is impossible to allow the matter to pass unnoticed, as it seems to have come from the state department. This statement state-ment is on a parallel with the malicious misrepresentations which came from the same department before I reached this country. "If proofs of all mv charges are not on file at the consulate at Pretoria, it is because they have been willfully abstracted ab-stracted therefrom. In short, I want to say that the statement published today to-day is a lie, nothing more or less. I have been slandered and maligned until I have become tired of it." PADEREWSKI IN SALT LAKE CITY Paderewski, the greatest living pianist, pian-ist, has been secured by Mr. George D. Pyper, manager of the Salt Lake Theatre, for one night's recital at that historic play house. The prices are as follows: Stalls and boxes, S4 per seat; parquette and dress circle, $3; first circle, first two rows, 13.50; third and fourth rows, $2.00; second balcony, $1.50; third balcony, $1. Tickets can be reserved by writing, phoning or wiring to Manager Pyper. Paderewski's art is really very simple of explanation, and it may be summed up in a single word, it is purely human, it is the cry of a great soul, the throb of a bijr heart. The onlv witchcraftof Paderewski's playincr is the enormous "feeling" he puts into it, and "feeling' is but another word for humanity. The recital will be the great musical event of the season in Salt Lake. BRITISH LOSS 22.QOO. Mora Than 10 Per Cent of British Army in Afrlea Put Out of Action.

Wealthy Men Supplant Mechanics. Chicago contractors with an aggrV gate wealth of $10,000,000 have volun teered to go to work with hammer and saw and construct the big grand stand for the Dewey day celebration from which the admiral is to review the parade. The proposition was made at a meeting of the Master Carpenters' and Builders' association, aud was carried car-ried with a cheer. Owing to the complicated com-plicated labor situation this is thought the best way out of a tangle which might have brought about a repetition of the fall festival troubles. -y Sjliort of Officer. The secretary of the navy has written a letter to the senate committee on naval affairs, urging such a change in the laws relating to appointment to the naval academy as will fill the vacancies va-cancies in the line of the navy, and also calling attention to the necessity for immediately enacting such legislation legisla-tion as will substantially increase the authorized quota.
